Connecting your TV to the system

The instructions below show basic connections to the media center and TV. This simple set of

connections will allow you to use your system quickly. Later in this guide you will find other

options for connecting additional components to your system.

Making the audio connection

Using the supplied stereo audio cable, connect the left (L) and right (R) audio outputs on the

rear panel of your TV to the Audio IN TV L and R on the media center rear panel (Figure 12).

• If the TV has both fixed (FIX) and variable (VAR) outputs, use the ones for fixed output. If the

setup menu for your TV allows, select Fixed in that menu.

• If you have a digital TV, you may connect a digital audio cable as well. This may either be a

single coaxial cable with RCA connectors on each end, or an optical cable, which has a

unique snap fit connector on each end.

Note: It is important to provide the analog connection along with the digital, to prevent a loss

of sound caused by any temporary degradation of the digital signal.

Note: On the TV, be sure to notice which Video IN jack is used. In the example below, the

media center Video OUT is connected to the VIDEO 1 input on the TV. In this case, use your

TV remote control to select VIDEO 1 to view DVDs and see LIFESTYLE

system menus.
